Dang. That is some amazing stuff.

$200 seems way out there, but if it was what I just saw or better, I think it would be worth every penny.

I think $200 is very reasonable considering the field and props being used and level. Also playing with that level of players would just be amazing.

That would be awesome. I wonder how one could go about making that happen. I can't imagine cold-calling a military base would have a favorable ending.

Yet another excellent idea. If I had the $500k - $1M I would totally build such a field. How awesome would that be?

Maybe we need to setup a bunch of AP car washes to get the funds. ;)

Start from the ground up, do the shit right, and you can have it done. there are a lot of different people in the community that can support this... ADDICTION.

No joke. Imagine if we got every one of the forum members to donate. I'm going to look into it along with a couple of my business admin major friends. But don't expect anything to happen or be successful :lol:

Anyway, these videos are awesome, and I think a trip to New York sounds like fun too.

True dat', true dat'
But that's okay, it really isn't a sport, is it? I don't know if it is a lifestyle for everyone who does it, but it could be and it is for these guys.

I like how they train. Simple, cheap, effective. We can do that.

That is some awesome playing areas.

And a question. Do the major teams like SotA and APST practice like they do?


APST trains CQC and outdoor squad tactics. Nobody has really hosted a CQC competition we can compete in lately so we haven't really been keeping our CQC team up and rolling. Hopefully that'll change soon :)

Darius, Eudorus, Mini-Marine and myself talked with a 1LT about getting Fort Lewis to let airsofters use their MOUT site for events. I dont know how far along its coming but its being discussed. Honestly it just takes use convincing the US Army that it would be a worth while endeavor and amazing recruiting tool. Not too hard right?

If that's all it takes then we would have already had several events there. Honestly I see a lot more in those videos than just a location. Lots of planning, organization, staff, props, and a large number of players willing to pay $200/each to see it happen.

The videos are great. They utterly inspire me. So much so that I'm looking to "change-up" my load out. Does anyone know what brand of plate carriers these guys might be runnin'?

Thanks.

Best regards,

I am sincerely impressed at the gear and training these players do. They are seriously hardcore about airsoft, and it shows.
